A few little things:

- don't capitalize by username in my URL (i.e. http://www.thesponty.com/Tlrobinson_94). Also, do you really need the "_94", can't it just be the username?

- clear the placeholder text from textfield when it's clicked

1. The URL is actually an invitation link. When someone clicks it and signs up, Sponty sends you a friend request; which you can choose to ignore. Hence, this is a mild obfuscation to make invite links less guessable.

2. Thank you for catching this bug. Will do.
